A one-story ell projects from the rear, and small outbuildings stand beside it.","why_significant":"The house is noted for the quality and intactness of its architectural detailing, including mantels, overmantels, doors and window surrounds that reflect primarily the Georgian period with some late Victorian alterations. It is described as one of the best examples in Iredell County of a house embodying Georgian style characteristics. Its owners over time included planters and public figures, and it is linked to the region's antebellum plantation economy.","narrative":"Set on a hill above the crossroads of SR 1905 and NC 115 in northwestern Iredell County, the King-Flowers-Keaton House is a two-story frame dwelling with five bays across and two deep, flanked by single shoulder brick chimneys. A one-story ell projects from the right rear. Its interior follows a three-room Quaker plan modified by a center hall, and its corner fireplaces retain flat-panelled overmantels and deeply molded mantel shelves. Doors with box locks, one bearing a carpenter's seal, survive throughout. The house probably dates to about 1800, though one chimney carries an 1849 date stone. Its detailing reflects mainly the Georgian period, with late Victorian porch posts and newel. Owners included Samuel King, a state legislator, and George Flowers, a planter who held about fifty slaves. The house is regarded as one of the finest Georgian-style houses in Iredell County.","period_of_significance":"c. 1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Occupied: the document states that the present owner, a widow, continues to occupy the house.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.872363-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/43/7180/47718043/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/80002872.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718043","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King-Flowers-Keaton_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19462779"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/iredell-county/king-flowers-keaton-house-80002872/"}
